Besides Butternut and acorn squash what winter squash has the highest demand both retail and wholesale ?

I got some lakota, spaghetti, white acorn, carnival, and sweet mama winter squash seeds to try this year. I was wondering if any of you guys have tryed any of these and how your customers reacted .

I think butternut can't be beat. Size is right, very easy to peel, and the 'neck' is seed-free. I had some from 2003 fall's crop keep for 12 months.

This year I'm adding an oriental squash which is pear shaped, green w/stripes.

Here is a link that might be useful: sweet papaya squash

BonBon squash from Johnny's - fantastically tasty and a great seller. Carnival - early, beautiful, easy to grow, great seller. Lakota - early but did not keep well for us. Hubbard is good - though smaller size ones sell better than the huge ones. Delicatas, black futtsus and spaghettis are also great sellers for us.
